Bueng chawak: "Nong Khao Tom," a baby elephant abandoned by his herd, is showing signs of recovery as his wounds continue to heal. He is now able to drink milk and water normally, though there remains a small amount of pus on his nails. The elephant is undergoing treatment for his wounds, and it has been observed that he is putting more weight on his legs. The itching experienced on his hind legs is linked to the tissue regeneration process.
According to Thai News Agency, a team of veterinarians at the Bueng Chawak Wildlife Management Development Center has reported improvements in the elephant's condition. The wounds around his navel and genitals are becoming shallower, and the baby elephant is gaining strength in his legs. Despite some pus on his nails, the veterinary staff continues to provide treatment, which includes supporting the elephant's mobility and addressing the itching caused by tissue regeneration.
Khaotom's overall health is stable as he consumes milk and water regularly and shows no signs of discomfort when defecating or urinating. The veterinary team is diligently monitoring his condition, administering probiotics to maintain intestinal balance, providing intravenous fluids, and conducting physical therapy. This includes joint stretching, muscle massage, ultrasound treatment, and standing training, with staff assisting in his support.
